Scanning the River Update

 
See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/04/scanning-river.html.
A friend has answered my appeal for information and it appears the men I encountered were in fact real policemen and they were part of Thames Valley Police's Forensics Imaging Unit. The device they were operating is a lidar scanner; one is also illustrated above. Lidar is short for Light Detection and Ranging and it is a way of creating a three dimensional electronic model of a crime scene, which is an important tool during a police investigation or trial. Source: https://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/police-forces/thames-valley-police/areas/c/2020/forensics/. This must mean that what they were doing was indeed related to the cycle crash death. Lidar is harmless and therefore the bones and corpses I saw in the woods must have another cause, possibly the bad weather.
